| Name | Wyatt G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This morning I was on my way to work heading east on hi-way 6, in northern Indiana. While I’m driving see a fireball enter my sight, very bright and the closest one I’ve ever seen. It looked like it would have landed somewhere between me and my destination, approximately 45 miles away- If it didn’t completely burn out that is. Had a long tail and downward trajectory going south. |
